Posting on behalf of @Reastie as I'm guessing she's busy and the last thread was almost full.

This post is a work in process and if you have any links you’d like to share or would be good to add then please do let me know. The general consensus for the thread is to share any bargainous links, ideas and/or discount codes or information. No affiliate links (is that the right word?) And any referral links to the separate thread linked below. This is a warm, friendly, kind and cosy corner of mn filled with Christmas cookies and hot chocolate - let’s keep it that way!

If you have any referral links then please post on this thread <a class="break-all" href="https://_[[//https//www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas/5212180-bargain-referrals-thread-7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas/5212180-bargain-referrals-thread-7 and share around the joy/referral perks.

I know someone was looking for tea towels, B&M had some in which were very cute. Someone was also looking for mugs, I just bought this one for £3.50 in B&M (I’d seen it on FB).

Our B&M had none of the Oreo milkshakes in (glad I got one the other week) but they did have lots of the Skittles ones.

MinaLima edition of Harry Potter and the philosopher stone is 55% off if anyone has a Harry Potter fan!
https://amzn.eu/d/eaY3Zna

Thank you for this! It arrived today and is absolutely beautiful, perfect for my 8 year old.

We'll just need to keep it away from the younger sibling as it's very delicate!

The Essence Vault are buy one get one free today if you know anyone who would be happy with perfume dupes

No real recommendations from me as I have only tried the Lost Cherry dupe and I have no idea what the original smells like to compare (it's a nice perfume though) but hopefully might be useful to someone

I think they also do sample size ones which might be worth at buy one get one free

I have just got some Byoma sets and Sundae shower foam Christmas sets from Boots 3 for 2 offer for my teenage daughters. I got bonus Advantage points too for spending over £50 in one transaction and 10% cashback from Quidco!

Buisciteers order is still processing, no cancellation yet!

Mine too.
The email went to my spam folder.
I thought the email was worded badly, they were trying to excuse their error. After this and the bad reviews, I won't be reordering.

ihavespoken · 11/09/2025 14:28

Sorry if this has been posted but this original source /oddballs gift set is in Home Bargains in store and online for £4.99- it’s currently in Boots for £20!

Anyone considering the Turtle Doves offer, I’d check which incarnation of the company it is.

Relatively recently they moved production abroad and most of their items were no longer 100% cashmere. Perhaps the company was sold? Several people posted on these threads how disappointed they were with what they’d received, IIRC.

I don’t know what they are currently like. They might be OK again.

There is another company on ebay. A lady with ms that makes her own cashmere products. Cheaper and good quality. @RainbowZebraWarrior will know the name maybe am sure she suggested

I've just checked my junk folder and seen the cancellation. It says they'll honour the price on another item but when I click the link I can't see the offer / discount. Too much faff I'll just leave it!

Yes, and the other item is one biscuit!

HoneyPea · 11/09/2025 15:05

@mumonthehillHave you had a reply? I ordered the 36 stirrer bargain box and 10 are snapped 😕

mumonthehill · 11/09/2025 15:10

@HoneyPea i did and they said I could send them back so not worth it really. I agree I should have scrolled down further and a lesson learned but i do think they should not really be sending out already out of date stuff but hey ho!!!

Foot Factory is also a good place for Irregular Choice, and they have an extra 20% off!

Yes one Biscuit that is out of stock. The email also says you will get the item for the price that was paid in the original order, which they state is a 35% discount. This isn't true because the item is £25, my order was £21. Too much faff for me, I will avoid in future

I'll add that I also haven't been refunded yet and no mention of this or how long it will take in the email!

Yes I noticed that. I checked to see if the payment was pending but it was taken. I will email them later to clarify

I didn’t notice the date on those either but definitely not worth sending back. Did you use the contact us form or the email address? Just wondering which to use

No way am I reordering either. It was their mistake so they should honour it with the current hamper offering. Very poor customer service from them and I shall also avoid in the future.

Yes, at least we know now to avoid!
If I hadn't been on here and known to check my spam then I wouldn't know it was cancelled. They money hasn't been refunded and the orders are still showing as pending on their website.

I just replied to the email and said no thanks, please issue a refund. Already received it. I agree that they should’ve made mention in the email about how to get a refund though incase you don’t want to spend £20 on one biscuit

Dinomum24 · 11/09/2025 16:23

Hi ,

I had to reply to say that I wanted a refund. It was then refunded straight away.

hope that helps
